The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

A behavioural and electrophysiological study of oviposition cues for Culex quinquefasciatus
Both the synthetic oviposition pheromone. erythro-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide (0.01-80 mug) and a polluted water sample (0.01-80%) significantly increased oviposition by gravid female Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) in a laboratory assay ...

Transcriptome sequencing of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus revealed RNA interference (RNAi) targets; double‐stranded RNA microinjection reduced transcript levels and increased mortality, with αCOP and Rop showing strongest lethal effects, indicating promising RNAi‐based pest control candidates.

Oviposition time, interval and cuticle deposition
1) The cuticle acts as a barrier to prevent microbial penetration of the eggshell. The reduction in the oviposition interval with selection for egg production and the activity of clock genes in the oviduct led to testing the hypothesis that the interval ...

The selection of oviposition sites by the yellow-fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti , was studied in the laboratory. The repellent or attractant effects of salinity and the presence of bacteria in water collected from a local community on the Brazilian coast ...

Modelling the phenology of the grapevine leafhopper Erasmoneura vulnerata
This study developed and validated a phenological population dynamics model for Erasmoneura vulnerata, integrating field monitoring and literature data to reproduce observed seasonal patterns across multiple sites. Abstract BACKGROUND Erasmoneura vulnerata (Fitch) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is an invasive Nearctic leafhopper that has become a pest of ...

Oviposition Time in the Chukar Partridge
Abstract Time of lay was measured on chukar partridge in order to determine several aspects of their oviposition pattern relative to time lag between eggs in sequences and time of lay relative to dark and light periods of the day. Time of lay was recorded continuously over a 7-week period for 20 chukars maintained under 16 hours daily light given ...

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.
